Antigua and Barbuda has called for a fundamental shift in how education is classified, arguing it should be treated as core national infrastructure rather than a competing social priority. Director of Education Clare Browne made the case before an international audience at the United Nations on Friday, according to Antigua Observer.
Browne delivered opening remarks at the Transforming Global Education Summit held at ECOSOC headquarters, where she challenged the traditional framework through which education has long been viewed by governments and policymakers worldwide.
As reported by Antigua Observer, Browne argued that repositioning education within national development planning — elevating it to the same strategic standing as roads, energy, and other critical infrastructure — is essential for sustainable progress.
